"The Johnny Reed Show" CD Is a Rock Anomaly, During Which There Is No Eye to Follow

Following the same production technique as the Beatles, Johnny Reed’s music follows a free-moving artistic flow. The ten tracks on "The Johnny Reed Show: are diverse and emotional, with each one telling its own story. The free-form style and content makes the album a kind of rock anomaly, during which there is no eye to follow.

Fenton, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/14/2014 -- Performing under made-up alter egos, (Evan Chuley on bass, Justin Case on guitar, and Mia Ana on drums) The Johnny Reed Show is the latest album by multi-instrumentalist Johnny Reed. Reed supplies all of the instrumentals, vocals, and engineering. The effort and sheer workload poured into the album puts Reed striving for the forefront of the DIY musician movement.

Intended to showcase his artistic talents and promote his new musical direction, the "Johnny Reed Show" is the latest in Johnny Reed’s artistic dedication. It is also a testament to his knack for storytelling and ability to engineer & produce a diverse set of instrumental arrangements. While each track is recognizable as Reed’s, each one takes its own avenue and possesses a one-of-a-kind sound.

Recorded at the Music Room Studio in Redondo Beach, the ten tracks were sequenced as a complete album listening experience, from the Beatle-ish "Take Another Road", to the ending track a Pink Floydi-sh "Its Gonna Be Alright". The album's artwork, illustrated by Reed himself, demonstrates his humor and gives you a hint of what's going on inside the artist. Using classic instruments like a 1965 FenderTelecaster, 1965 Ludwig Drums & Takamine 12 string guitar, each of the song's individual sounds come together perfectly to create a reflection of Reed’s propensity toward his unbounded artistic expressions.
